The year so far

As a tribute to the athleticism and hard work it requires to be a dancer, the organisers of this year’s Sussex Sports Awards invited St Bede’s Legat dancers to provide the entertainment at their awards ceremony in November

The Sussex Sports Awards celebrate the best sportsmen and women in Sussex and also acknowledge the work of coaches, officials, volunteers, sports professionals, parents and clubs.

A combination of Prep and Senior Legat dancers wowed the 600-strong audience with two pieces – a fun and athletic piece for the Prep and Year 9 dancers and a jazzy number for the Senior dancers which incorporated ballet and jazz to the music of War of the Worlds. The Senior piece was choreographed by St Bede’s teacher Natasha Mazzucato.

At the Cabaret concert on 28 November the second section was opened by the Legat Associates who collaborated with the School Choir in a rousing rendition of Food, Glorious Food from the musical Oliver by Lionel Bart. The Legat Dance School came to the fore in Irving Berlin's White Tie, Top Hat and Tails' sung by Elliott Moyle with a dazzling jazz and tap routine swirling around the tables by some of our Legat stars.
